Financial Results for the Fiscal Year ending March 2026 | Sales ¥28.7 billion (YoY -5.9%)

Performance Overview

Hokuetsu Corporation's fiscal year ending March 2026 recorded sales of ¥28.7 billion (YoY -5.9%), operating income of ¥750 million (YoY -61.8%), and net income of ¥730 million (YoY -41.6%). Revenues and profits declined significantly, mainly due to decreases in the paper pulp segment, influenced by increased costs and raw material price surges. Low demand for paper products and increased transportation costs also contributed to the deterioration of performance.

Future Outlook

It is expected that fluctuations in paper pulp prices and rising raw material costs will continue, and a recovery in performance will require time. Efforts will focus on cost management and production efficiency improvements, along with initiatives to stimulate demand recovery. In the medium to long term, the company aims to stabilize paper demand and expand new business segments.
